Re: [ts-7000] TS7500 MicroSD

It is most likely your fdisk efforts are in vain.
On the 7390 fdisk does not work. It will go through the motions
and make you think it's working, but it does not work.

Subject: [ts-7000] TS7500 MicroSD

 

This is probably the first of a series of increasingly desperate and random cries for help and sympathy!

I just got a new TS7500 to evaluate, and due to brain failure, didn't order the MicroSD card with Debian on it, thinking How Hard Can It Be?

Very, is the answer.

I bought a couple of MicroSD cards and it came with a SD/MicroSD/MMC USB reader - a more nasty flimsy bit of plastic I have never seen.

The MicroSD cards are not recognised (parted(8) in Ubuntu 8.10) with No Medium In Device error. This happens for both of them, but a 2GB SD card from a TS7390 looks fine.

I know it isn't a Technologic question, but is there anything else I can try before declaring BOTH microSD cards dead on arrival? It would be embarrassing to ship them back as faulty if I'm missing something obvious.

I don't have a camera or phone that takes MicroSD cards.

I've tried sdctl to read and write the MicroSD card and something is working - it's just not initialised to the point where parted or fdisk can make sense of it.
